Karl & Liesl Kranich

Please pray for the summer project bands as they head out on tour from July 17 to August 3.  Here they are…

Anja and I were eating breakfast together yesterday.  She asked what I was going to do today, and I said that I was going to some training on how to talk to people about Jesus.
“Why do you need that?” she asked.
“Sometimes people have hard questions”, I answered.
“Here’s how you do it”, she said.  “Is God real?  Yes.  There you go.”

Thank you all so much for praying for our house sale situation.  We just found out that the county announced this afternoon that the previous rules (that our buyers were depending on) will be extended until May 1.  The contract is still good!

Praise God!! 

(Keep praying that nothing else goes wrong  )

We just found out that the contract that we signed to sell our house will probably be made invalid by some changes that the county just made to the down payment assistance program that our buyers are trying to use.

Please pray with us that either the county would relax these restrictions, or that we could find another buyer soon.  Most of all, that we would be able to trust God with this.

Many of you have been praying that we would be able to sell our house in Orlando–God has answered!  This weekend a contract was signed, and we look forward to closing on June 6.  The timing is great for us, since we’re hoping that our new house in Indiana will be done in early June.  We would certainly appreciate your continued prayers for the selling, building, and moving processes.  We’ve never done anything like this!

We also wanted to let you know about a bunch of things that we’ve been adding to our web site.  On the list of links to the right, we’ve added new sections of resources about umbilical cord blood donation and dealing with infertility and loss.  Up top (and on the “Pages” list), you’ll see a new link to a page about Keynote that includes a bunch of videos.  We’ve also updated the “Family Photos” — you can even watch our house being built by clicking on the “Matterhorn Drive” set.  Feel free to check out anything you’re interested in.
